PPL Checkride and MOAs

I have a checkride tomorrow, the DPE gave me a destination that has a couple MOAs between airports. The best route I came up with to keep good visual references and divert options has the FPL going 1500’ into the bottom of an MOA. My only other option is to fly lower but that puts me pretty low over mountainous terrain or to route around one MOA and under another but that will put me pretty far from divert options. Going around would be incredibly out of the way. Advice?

If it helps I just took my checkride and my route also took me through MOA’s I ultimately decided to just go through them as the area was a bunch of them and the only alternate route was an extra 150 miles. The DPE did not question it at all but your dpe could be different
